2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts
Melt sugar in a heavy iron frying pan over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until all lumps have disappeared and sugar is a rich golden color (hard crack on a candy thermometer).
Remove from heat, stir in 1/2 tsp. vanilla, add butter and pour over nuts which have been spread in a shallow, well greased pan.
When cold, break into pieces.
